I've heard that for some when they lose weight their tail bone starts hurting. This has started happen to me too. It feels like my tailbone is pretruding and it hurts when I sit and during sex. I am wondering if this is because our spine/ tailbone adjusts to hold all the extra weight and when we lose it it doesn't adjust back. I am going to bring it up in my next dr appointment, but just wondering if anyone here has had the same problem and what did the doctor said...any info will help!!!

Wow! Hope someone has a answer for this one. My tailbone has been killing me. I never thought it could be related to the surgery.

Mine hurts too when I've been sitting too long, but when I was ten I cracked it, so I've always thought that's why it still hurt when i sit a long time, but maybe not! With all the padding it didn't hurt at all. I like it. It reminds me that my butt is shrinking away!!! ;)

guess im part of this club aswell.. not only the tailbone but also lower back area, tailbone hurts from sitting, back hurts while standing/walking so i stand/walk til that pain outweighs the tailbone then alternate...

It's not my tailbone but my back... Especially if I stand in one spot to long. I'm trying to just push through it with hopes it goes away!

For me it is my back. This is very interesting and most likely not a coincidence...

I talked to my surgeon about it and since I have no pain anywhere else like my stomach he says that it has nothing to do with the surgery... I'm thinking its from the weight shifting and stuff

Thought it was just me ,asked my dr , it's called remodeling our bellies pull an unnatural curve in the spine and the extra padding on our butts protect the end of it. He says it resolves after time ,suggested stretching ,yoga, I have in inversion machine(teter hang-up)that's been helping however I still can't sit on anything unpadded for more than a min.or two. As far as sex I'm a male only advice there is "deal with it",haha!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
